Quote by Scott Jurek

“Я начал читать экзистенциальные книжки еще в старших классах школы и продолжил читать в колледже. У Сартра и Камю я нашел описание борьбы индивидуума, не вписывавшегося в окружающую среду. Герман Гессе писал о поиске святого в хаосе и боли. Экзистенциалисты не верили в познание жизни только посредством разума. Они знакомили меня с концепцией испытания отчуждением и отказом от оправдания чужих надежд ради жизни, полной уникального смысла.”

Because the foundation of my trust was in the God of creation and not in a human, I was free to love, enjoy and even make mistakes in my relationships. Whether I made the mistake or Garrett did, together we knew it was all covered under the Cross of Jesus Christ. God had already forgiven us for past, current and even future sins. Because we accepted by faith the sacrifice of His Son Jesus, we were allowed the freedom to grow in every area of our life, especially our marriage!”
